What is your previous experience w/ RoR?

Developing professionally on the front-end for the past 12 years, about six months ago I finally had to dive in and find out what all the buzz is around this RoR stuff. I dove in on my own, got hooked, and, wanting to level-up further, I recently completed the DaVinci Coders program. I learned heckuvalot more and now want to continue learning and growing further!

What is your previous experience w/ iOS Development?

No native iOS dev experience.

Introduction

Don't believe half of what you see, none of what you hear, and only some of what you think.

We're about:

Build fully-native iOS apps with Ruby, in your favorite editor, without having to touch Xcode or Objective-C. All the benefits of Ruby, and fully-native on iOS.

The similarities between Ruby and Objective-C are enough that a former Apple employee named Laurent Sansonetti was able to make a compiler for Ruby that outputs native iOS machine code. It was announced in the spring of 2012 and has been in and out of hacker news since. We're intending to make Denver a hub for the Ruby Motion community.
